The Three Voices Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAB DEDEFE AAGAAA AHAHIH AJKJLJ

The waves have a story to tell meA
As I lie on the lonely beachB
Chanting aloft in the pine topsC
The wind has a lesson to teachB
But the stars sing an anthem of gloryA
I cannot put into speechB
-
The waves tell of ocean spacesD
Of hearts that are wild and braveE
Of populous city placesD
Of desolate shores they laveE
Of men who sally in quest of goldF
To sink in an ocean graveE
-
The wind is a mighty roamerA
He bids me keep me freeA
Clean from the taint of the gold lustG
Hardy and pure as heA
Cling with my love to natureA
As a child to the mother kneeA
-
But the stars throng out in their gloryA
And they sing of the God in manH
They sing of the Mighty MasterA
Of the loom his fingers spanH
Where a star or a soul is a part of the wholeI
And weft in the wondrous planH
-
Here by the camp fire's flickerA
Deep in my blanket curledJ
I long for the peace of the pine gloomK
When the scroll of the Lord is unfurledJ
And the wind and the wave are silentL
And world is singing to worldJ
